Absolute hidden gem. Since parks and Rec finished I've struggled with tv shows in comparison. The humour is brilliant and the actors are refreshingly wonderful, the story line as the seasons go on seems to just keep getting better. It makes so much more sense for those who've worked the sometimes gruelling retail role. Can't wait for season 4!

After three seasons Superstore has really developed into a clever character based work place sitcom. Sometimes the politically correct content goes overboard, but it's well balanced with Corporate realism and employee hopelessness.Has some real laugh out loud moments and all the work place individuals (characters) are uniquely cast with their own quirky natures that organically grow on you as the episodes go on. One aspect I really enjoyed is the infrequent short snippets of 80's and 90's store background music. Also enjoyable are the random in-store clips between scenes. Delivery is good and well timed, casting is spot on, this series has potential to live on for a while especially if the writers continue on the creative streak that currently makes this show a must-see.

I will preface this by saying that Superstore is not a bad show, it's actually a decent modern sitcom. At the same time one cannot help but to compare Superstore to other popular modern sitcoms. There are obvious parallels to the Office found in this show, even sharing some writers/producers. The biggest difference is that Superstore just isn't consistently funny. It's obvious that Amy and Jonah are similar to Pam and Jim; both are lovable characters, but Amy is a in a relationship while Jonah has feelings for her. Dina is Dwight, the strong willed co worker that is just a bid different that other people. Whilst the comparisons are obvious, I actually like all three of these characters. Being similar to a show like The Office is okay if the characters are charming and the jokes are funny. This leads to Glenn, the worst part of this show. Glenn is not funny, he's Michael Scott if Michael Scott was not funny. It's not the actor's fault, I just don't think he's given any material to work with. He's the trope of the religious man that is just a bit too innocent for the world. I'm not saying that tropes are bad, they're bad when they're not funny. The issue of Glenn also leads into Superstore's biggest flaw, wasted potential. This is a sitcom in the style of The Office, Parks and Rec, Arrested Development and many others, set in a fictional Walmart. There is so much to work with, and instead they just regurgitated the Jim and Pam romance and focus on the relationships between the workers as opposed to the relationship with their coworkers along with their surroundings. These sorts of relationships work in shows like Parks and Rec because they're in an office, they only have each other to talk to. In a Superstore interactions with customers and the crap that retail workers go through should have been a central point to the show. In the end, I'll still watch it and hope it gets better. Superstore is not bad, it could just be so much better.

The more I watch it, the more I like it. The characters are all progressively more defined and interesting and they all mesh well together. Anyone who's ever worked in the service industry might feel nostalgic watching it-- crappy corporate jobs bring the little guys together and you become a family without even realizing it. This show is an inside look on that. It's fun for the whole family to watch and the jokes are always fresh. Definitely recommend it.
